Your New Campus Plan: Overview & Common Questions

Welcome to your new Campus/Organization Plan – the convenient and easy way to bring the power of SignUp's Premium service to the leaders and teachers in your organization! The following terms and frequently asked questions will be helpful in getting started…

Terminology:

Plan Administrator

The person who first upgraded to the Campus/Organization Plan and received your Plan License Code. (identified by email address)

The ONLY one who can access reports and messaging across SignUps for the entire plan.

Can be the Primary Organizer of their own SignUps, or Assistant Organizer on others’ SignUps.

SignUp

Any individual activity or volunteer calendar where people can sign up for shifts, jobs or things to bring.

Any Organizer or Administrator can create a SignUp. (e.g. The Librarian plans the Book Fair SignUp and the 4th Grade Teacher plans the Science Lab SignUp.)

Any Organizer can “Pass the Baton” to send their planned SignUp to a different Organizer (e.g. the School Secretary sets up all the Parent-teacher Conference SignUp calendars, then passes each SignUp to the teacher to distribute to her class parents.)

Group Page

A custom place to post links to multiple SignUps with one invitation link (URL).

‘Owned’ by the Organizer who creates it – s/he can give other Plan Members permission to post their SignUps on the Group Page.

Organizers and Administrators can publish multiple Group Pages and SignUps can be posted to more than one Group Page.

1) How do your participants decide how to help? Are they looking for a specific type of SignUp, for one type of service or for one grade/teacher? If so, posting your Signups to a Group page by category gets them to their destination faster.

2) How many total SignUps do you have? A large list of Signups to sort through can be a bit overwhelming for potential participants. For example, a High School may have separate Group Pages for Arts/Music, Athletic Clubs, Senior Activities, Other.

How can one Plan Organizer or Administrator allow another to post to his or her Group Page?

When setting up or managing your Group Page, check the box that says, “Allow Others to Add SignUps to my Group Page?”. Anyone with your Plan License Code will be able to view and add SignUps links to your Group Page.

We make it easy to invite participants – there are several options including sending personal invitations, emails with multiple links, Shareable invitation links sent via Social Media, HTML buttons embedded on your site, and more.
